Ameracauna gods with me this time

Out of 6 Ameracuana pullets, I've got 2 blue-egg layers, 1 pink-egg layer and 3 green-egg layers. Yahoo!

hun, those aren't Ameraucanas. They're Easter Eggers. Ameraucanas are not sold at hatcheries or feedstores, and are not supposed to lay pink, brown, green, or white eggs. I'm sorry to say, but what you have were mislabelled, and are crossbred chickens.

Ameraucanas are only sold by breeders, and should only have slate or black legs, a pea comb, and the recognized colors of blue, black, wheaten, white, buff, silver, blue wheaten, and brown red. Also, they should only lay blue eggs, though some strains have a minty green or khaki color to the egg.

What fun! You'll have a beautiful easter basket this year; regardless of what you call your hens. Enjoy them.

I love my EEs and the colored eggs they give me! Congrats on yours!!!

You'll figure out quickly that you have to be careful what you call an Ameraucana. If you don't get the chick from a breeder, it's not an Ameraucana.

Either way, we all love our chickens and it's always exciting when they give us wonderful colored eggs!

Yeah, thus all being said, I would certainly congratulate you! My only Easter Egger actually lays a brown egg. . . Was hoping for a green one.

My true Ameraucanas (sshh don't tell them) currently lay minty green eggs which is actually undesired for the breed, but I'm fine with that. . . They're my only green. I'm getting more and better Ameraucanas with a true pale blue to rich teal blue, but I won't replace my current ones.

Three of my EEs lay Tiffany blue eggs. One lays olive green eggs. I love the green ones, probably because I've never had that color before.
